“A thriller with a twist, OK nothing unusual with that, the twist is the story is told from the perspective of the victim. It doesn’t spend a lot of time chasing or giving clues to whom the serial killer is.
The victim has memory loss after a killer dumps her in a mass grave, psychiatrists come and go, but sooner or later she needs to help the innocently imprisoned man for the serial murders.
BC score 6/10 mine 4/10 (instantly forgettable!)

Score 4/10

“This is Bryson at his best and back on the tour as a twenty year follow up to notes from a Small Island.
Charming and funny, he is interesting, a bit grumpy but in a good way, for an Anglophile he does a great job.
Definitely one I’m recommending and a strong 8/10

“Book club liked this more than me.
I had high hopes having heard good things about other novels he has written, but was disappointed.
If you like David Mitchell or Haruki Murakami you will know the type of magical/fantasy style. It falls short compared to these other two authors.
Book club 6/10 me 4/10

Score 4/10

“Parts of this novel I really liked, the Jazz club scene, his writing style is always good. But on the whole I wasn’t convinced. Perhaps I’ve higher expectations of Murakami.
Only child grows up and loses touch with childhood sweetheart, now married and successful she enters his life again
5/10 I’d recommend others by him before this one.

Score 5/10
